IPhone :: Can I Orientation Lock Just "Specific" Apps And Not All Of Them?
Jul 12, 2010
There a few apps like Pandora, Messages (yes I don't like messaging in landscape) and a few others that I want them to stay locked in Portrait view...... BUT..... not lock portrait to ALL other apps!I still want to view my Safari, Mail and a few others in Landscape when I want.BUT I cant just lock a specific App then close that app and open another without that orientation lock carrying over to all other apps.Am I missing something?
Anyone know of any tweaks or such that would allow a jailbroken iphone 4 to maintain an orientation lock in widescreen mode (for surfing safari while in bed..)
is there any way to remove the orientation lock symbol in status bar??I want to keep it locked, but it gets in the way of BiteSms and SBSettings Memory and date in the status bar
Both of those KEY features are missing. Orientation lock should have been there since day one, but you have to pay 200 dollars + 2 years of contract to enable it apparently.What is the reason for not including wallpapers?, or even orientation lock (one of the most requested features)?..They could easily have included the orientation lock "panel" without showing the app switcher.At least they could have included orientation lock in the Settings application!http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.htmlIf you really want to get their attention: (free developer account required) http://bugreporter.apple.com
consider releasing a Screen Orientation Lock and Screenshot App?
These are basic features that Microsoft forgot to implement because they were all busy with the Smartglass App that just came out and everyone was just super excited! I know that these apps are possible, some apps on marketplace have their own screenshot feature. On developer unlocked phones they can lock screen orientation.
Had this discussion witha few parents. We have some apps or movies on the iphone to keep kids entertained / busy and if we turn our backs - the kids have pushed buttons and wandered all over, changed settings, etc. How about Apple creates a folder that you can assign a password needed to LEAVE that folder & associated apps? So - this is Junior's folder, kids can play and explore within that boundry and my Calander, notes, schedules, to do and contacts are all off-limits.
I had an iPhone 5s which I broke so I am using a friend's old Galaxy and am debating on getting the iPhone 6, but one thing I REALLY like about Android is the fact that it automatically places photos generated by certain apps into their own albums, in particular WhatsApp and Viber. On my iPhone these pics would just get intermingled in the Camera Roll album. I read another post that said this was the responsibility of the app developer to make that possible. Why they would make it possible for Android and not iOS?
I know there are apps that do this, ie Light Flow being one of them that allow you to change the LED notification color for specific apps, like red for gmail etc.Those apps drain battery from waking and such and was wondering if Motorola could incorpate that feature into the Atrix 2.
Is there a way of changing the screen-off option for specific apps on SG2 Android - i.e. I start an app and don't want screen to go off until I close the app.
This is probably a n00b question, but is there any way to assign a specific ringtone to a specific contact? I just switched from an LG Lotus, where I was able to give each contact a specific ringtone. I'd love to be able to do that with my Style..
On my HTC EVO I could set notification sounds by application. For text messages I had one tone but none for email. On the Photon I have the same tone setup for text messages coming in through Handcent but it also plays for email coming into the native email client which I do not want. Is there anyway to ether turn it off or select a different ring tone for emails?
Also what is the over/under for Motorola getting tired of hearing "I could do it on my HTC..."
Suddenly my iPhone 3GS stopped allowing the change in orientation of the display when turning the phone 90 degrees. A symbol appeared at the top right, that looks like a warning that this feature is locked. Now, I cannot find out if and how to restore this feature.
Suddenly the image on my iphone 5S is stuck in one orientation. There is probably a setting to lock and unlock this but I don't know where to find it. Searched through settings to no avail so far.
Suddenly my mail window shows only in landscape orientation, and if I try to type a new message the keyboard comes up portrait on the lefthand side. I don't recall doing anything to cause this. It is an iPhone 5s, IOS 8.1.2
Just after some advice i gather there are quite a few apps that change your lock screen to show a variety of information, and just wondered what the best was. I would like it to be free, and calendar information is a must.
And whilst i'm here are there any apps that would enable you to add a bit more to the calendar reminders - when they pop up on the lock screen I would really like a snooze for 15 minute option!
I want to lock certain apps like Facebook, Messageer, etc from my kids but still give them access to game app on my iphone IOS7 and ipad. Is there an app that will password lock only apps that I select.
I dropped my iPhone (from about 4 ft on to carpet, no big deal) but now the orientation is stuck and it won't rotate into any other views. It acts as if it is constantly being held upside down so that the home button is at the top. It won't switch into landscape or into normal portrait. I have to constantly flip my phone upside down anytime I'm using an app that rotates like FaceTime. It's like the accelerometer can't register the correct direction I'm holding the phone. Same problem when I play games that use phone tilt, the phone is constantly titled to one side an stuck there. I need to reset the accelerometer or recalibrate it at least. I tried resetting all settings, closing all apps, turning the phone off, turning on and off the rotation lock, nothing fixes it?!?!?!
On my iPhone 4S the Answer button is on the right and the Reject button is on the left when I receive calls. I would like to reverse the orientation. How can I do that?
Is there something where I can disable auto lock when in certain apps? I.E.I am in the maps app and want the screen to stay lit until I close the maps? I am new to the jailbreaking scene so sorry if this has been asked(I searched too)
I cannot type the letter "t" when phone is in portrait orientation. will only work when phone is in landscape.This causes some problems as some apps do not change orientation so when the "t" is needed to be entered it cannot be carried out
I would like to know if it impossible to rotate the calls screen orientation. When you put the torch in the docking station, the screen does not move and remans vertical...
Have problems with the orientation the photos come out from the Lumia 1020? I would always hold the phone horizontal and use the camera button to take photos. Sometimes the photos come in one orientation and other times they need to be rotated 90 degrees. When viewing the photos in camera roll, holding the phone vertical again I get full screen photos and swipe left/right for next/prev. But in the other orientation that sometimes the photos come out in,
